Moradabad, Uttar pradesh, India
dil mein kisi ke rah kiye ja raha hun main
kya barabar ka mohabbat mein asar hota hai
ehsas-e-ashiqi ne begana kar diya hai
aaj kya haal hai yarab sar-e-mahfil mera
hum ko miTa sake ye zamane mein dam nahin
sabhi andaz-e-husn pyare hain
dastan-e-gham-e-dil un ko sunai na gai
wo kafir aashna na-ashna yun bhi hai aur yun bhi
ye din bahaar ke ab ke bhi ras aa na sake
sitam-e-kaamyab ne mara
aaya na ras nala-e-dil ka asar mujhe
dil ko miTa ke dagh-e-tamanna diya mujhe
tujhi se ibtida hai tu hi ek din intiha hoga
junun kam justuju kam tishnagi kam
husn ke ehtiram ne mara
